And so, after settling on a plan, Lu Yuan really could only become a tree, diligently studying every day, an effort more arduous than taking the college entrance examination.
At the very least, he needed to master the "Concealing Rune" and "Solid Rune" and engrave them on the tricycle to have a bit of security in crossing the desert.
It wasn't that becoming a tree made him any smarter, but a tree's patience was better, and it didn't really need to sleep much. Out of 24 hours a day, at least 23 were spent studying.
In the remaining one hour, he reflected on the damnation of life, "One human is a civilization!"
"One person does it all!"
The whole process was tinged with a faint sadness.
The morning sun shone on the leaves each day, scorching hot.
He became very fond of basking in the sun because it made him grow robustly.
The Tree of Life had a strong ability to adapt to the environment. Those Bodhi leaves retracted into the trunk, making the tree appear bare and bald.
